Who I Am

About Me

Yukta Batra

I'm a Computer Science graduate student at George Mason University, graduated May 2026. I build systems that scale — from containerized microservices on Kubernetes to AI-powered applications using RAG pipelines and deep learning models.

My engineering journey spans backend development, cloud infrastructure, and machine learning. I'm drawn to problems that require thinking across the full stack — designing APIs, orchestrating deployments, training models, and building secure AI systems. I hold the Linux Foundation OpenSSF certification in Secure AI/ML-Driven Software Development and contributed a CVE case study to MITRE's public repository.

Before GMU, I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science from The NorthCap University, India, where I built my foundations in algorithms, distributed systems, and software design. I've since worked on everything from React frontends to AWS multi-tier architectures.
